Can someone confirm to me if data extraction from forexfactory still works

Posted on by ief 9

Hi,

I combined different flows to run on timer specified by economic events on forexfactory but after years of using it, it suddenly doesn't work anymore. If it's due to changes on the website itself can someone help to get these calender data into excel? Using variable rows for table is difficult to specify as the amount of events is different every month! Error: Data extraction element not found. The website is assembled according calculations in excel to get the specified month, in this case january 2024. Calendar | Forex Factory

Thanks in advance

    hi,

    From the error, It seems like selector has been changed for uielement that you're trying to extract. please capture it again and try using variables for year and month in selector using Text editor option of selectors.

    Please mark this as solution if it helps you solve issue. Happy to help you more.

    Hi

    Thank you for the response. I have renewed the action "Extract data from web" and selected "extract entire html table" to capture the whole month on excel. It has resolved the error, thank you! But the problem now is parts of the table weren't extracted and left most of it empty. I attached the steps in power automate and my result in excel below. 

    Thanks in advance and much obliged if you can look into my next issue regarding the incomplete extraction of the html table
